There are three
ways a rosé is obtained : maceration, saignée (or bled) and
blending. We use the saignée method : The grapes and skins are
crushed and left in a large, stainless-steel vat. After an
hour or two, a certain amount of juice is drawn off or "bled,"
and fermented into a delicate rosé (the juice that stays
behind is made into red wine).
Rich in aromas, this rosé is delicate and incomparably
fruitful. It is the result of the "saignée" (bleeding) method
Food pairing
: Should be served chilled (46-50°F). It makes a fine aperitif
but is so food-friendly that it may accompany a whole meal as
well.
